Hi, Maria and list,
It seems to me as a new user cojing from a Braille Lite 40 that there needs
to be a stable find command that works no matter where you are in a
document or folder. I am still reading the manual and would really
appreciate a stable find command. I would agree with Rich Ring that that
would make the manual many times more useful. I do like the help system though.

You're right, when accessing the User Guide through the Options Menu, the
cursor is not "tracked", that is, it does not move along with the Braille
display windows as you scroll with your thumb keys. What I'd suggest
doing would be to use the keyboard navigation commands every once in a
while (i.e. SPACE with dots 4-5-6 or SPACE with dots 1-2-3 moves to the
next and previous section of the User Guide respectively, SPACE with dots
5-6 or dots 2-3 move forward or back a paragraph respectively, SPACE with
dot 4 or dot 1 move forward and back a sentence respectively, etc.) to
position your cursor at more of a relevant spot. You can't simply route
your cursor to a position or do a search, so that is the most efficient
way I've found. Or, if you've forgotten to position your cursor, one of
the most useful User Guide navigation commands will be that SPACE with
dots 4-5-6 to move you forward a section or SPACE with dots 1-2-3 to move
you back, at which point you can move by parag
raphs/sentences to find precisely where you left off, but at least you
can position your cursor to a new section with one keystroke, and your
Braille display will obviously move with your cursor, so I suppose that's
the most efficient way.
As for the difference in behavior with the User Guide documents in the
KeySoft System Disk, the unit treats these like any other document,
meaning one will be brought back to the last place read with the Braille
display (although, again, the cursor won't be "tracked") when the document
is reopened, unless something like a Reset is performed between openings
of the document.
HTH,
Maria
